This partial brick colonial home is located in Bedfordshire - a lovely community in the Winston Churchill School Cluster. Because of its close in location and blue ribbon schools - this community is always in demand for both first time and move up buyers. Many of the homes in this community have been upgraded beautifully. Homes that are original are also sought after so the new owners can put their personal stamp on the property. Driving through - you will always see homes in various stages of renovation.

You enter this home into a small foyer with beige octagonal tile. There is a living room to the left and family room to the right - both with hardwood floors. The kitchen is in the rear of the home - and has been nicely upgraded with green granite and updated black appliances. There is a lovely tile back splash in the kitchen that really looks great. Nice job by the previous owners.

A dining room abuts the kitchen on the left side with a nice window looking out into the yard. On the other side of the kitchen is a laundry area and mud room that leads out to the two car garage. There is a large deck out back which will be a great spot for sharing a beer or glass of wine on cool summer nights.

The stairwell upstairs leads to a narrow foyer, typical of homes of the time. The master bedroom is decent size with an original master bath. The white and yellow tile is a blast from the past. Although functional - many new homeowners will want to update the master in short order.

The basement is finished with carpet and is nice an open. A large granite bar is a bit out of place, but I am sure a welcome addition during a party. An side room would be a great place for a large screen TV and surround sound. The space is dated, but does have a lot of potential. Additional storage separate from the finished space is a great asset for a home of this size.

Overall this is a nice home with good structure. It will need some work - but the downstairs "public" area is in nice condition. The baths upstairs, and updating the basement can be done when funds allow it, and will be out of site of company while being done. In my opinion it is a bit aggressively priced at $780,000. Based upon other sales in the area and condition - this should sell somewhere in the $720,000 to $735,000 range.
